Thanks I tried what you suggest: I deleted .newsrc* and pared down the .gnus to just one dovecot account and when I start gnus it is the (require 'nnimap) that actually triggers the error.
Without the (require 'nnimap), gnus starts without error but my imap accounts don't appear in *Server* and dovecot is not troubled with any authentication requests.
I am using Arch Linux packages but will try compiling emacs from source.
